Still time to catch @menageriebwy before it closes and is just a 'memory' #TheGlassMenagerie on Broadway.
Two of my favorite people. @BillBrettBoston and #DavidMcCullough, the pride of Pittsburgh, at reading and signing for his #WrightBrothers book. Also in the audience is David's wife Rosalee and a few of their children. @harvardbookstore on location
Important issue.
Cancer Votes Massachusetts was out last week at the U.S. Senate candidate debate in Springfield, MA, the third of four scheduled debates between Sen. Scott Brown (R) and Elizabeth Warren (D).
Cancer Votes volunteers and staff spent time talking with supporters from both campaigns about why cancer needs to be a national priority, and six volunteers and staff were able to attend the sold-out debate.
And Cancer Votes volunteer Pat Spain from North Andover gave several interviews to reporters, including one with NPR!
According to Cancer Votes staffer Patricia Mallios, volunteers and staff were able to meet a lot of people and many of them kept their stickers on during the debate and were interested in hearing about Cancer Votes.

A great look at Ted Williams's swing.
From Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: Each Williams at bat was an event. Something between a hush and a buzz suddenly filled the air as the crowd shifted from a sort of auto-pilot engagement to edge-of-the-seat anticipation. “I was looking around for a story one day and someone said there was this blind guy on the first base line,” remembered Tim Horgan, who covered the Red Sox for the Boston Herald and then the Boston Evening Traveler in the 1950s. “I went up to the man and said, ‘Pardon me for asking but why do you come to the park? Why not listen to the game on the radio?’ He said, ‘I love the sounds of the game when Ted comes up.’”

Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.
